Parish History[edit | edit source]
COULTON,or Colton (Holy Trinity), a parish created by 1623 from Hawkshead, Lancashire Genealogy, in the union of Ulverston, hundred of Lonsdale north of the Sands, N. division of the county of Lancaster, containing the chapelries of Haverthwaite and Rusland and the parochial chapelry of Finsthwaite. East Coulton is 5½ miles (N. N. E.), and West Coulton 5 (N. by E.), from Ulverston. This is one of the most modern parishes in Lancashire. The modern parish is in the diocese of Carlisle.Other places in the parish include: Bethecar Moor, Nibthwaite, Colton West, and Colton East.[1]
Colton is a village in Cumbria since 1974 (historically part of Lancashire), England. Its name has been recorded as Coleton (which is Old English for 'village') and Coulton, and its existence has been recorded as early as 1202. The settlement is situated on an incline, at the top of which is Colton Church, which was built in 1575 and rebuilt 25 years later. Colton Beck, which runs beside the village, was once known as Cole, meaning 'hazel stream'.[The local parish council is also named Colton, and includes Finsthwaite, Lakeside, Oxen Park, Nibthwaite, Bouth, and Rusland in its boundary.
